Extra drills and extra AT

February 17th, 2010, 08:24 PM

Is it possible to drill with other units as long as you satisfy drill dates wth your own unit? And can someone do extra annual training with another unit?
Last day of school is May 7 and would like to do 3 extra drills and 3 extra ATs over the summer.

Ask your unit about RMAs, they budget these for extra help during the week. Also you get a retirement point for each RMA you work.

Each Soldier is only allowed 48 UTAs and 15 days of AT per fiscal year. If you want to serve more, then ask your chain of command about RMA days, as other posts have mentioned. You may also wish to volunteer for additional school training. The problem is, it never happens exactly when you want it to.

No doubt!!

RMAs:
1) You only get one per day & it's the same pay as a MUTA 1, so half what you get for a day of drill, and there's no BAH.

2) You can do a max of 15 RMAs & 15 of another RMA-type pay code. The RMAs are normally funded a few thousand dollars a quarter to the company level. The other pay code isn't normally funded unless they get permission for it.

Your best bet is schools, &/or orders for taskers & what not. Just make your readiness aware you're available & would like to work whenever possible over the summer.

Yes, because those are two different things. If this is a hardship, make a formal request for relief through your chain of command. List legitimate reasons why it is a hardship.

Right. Unless there is a hardship/emergency, or you participated in a recent state mission...it is quite difficult to get out of AT. Not only is it important for commanders to have their people there, it is a major opportunity for you to develop chemistry with your unit.
